Brian Photo Gallery | Hermann Trophy Photo Gallery | Watch Swanson's Intro of Morgan
ST. LOUIS, Mo. - Virginia junior midfielder Morgan Brian (St. Simons Island, Ga.) been named the winner of the 2013 Missouri Athletic Club's Hermann Trophy, the most prestigious individual honor in collegiate soccer. Brian was presented this year's award during a banquet Friday night at the club in downtown St. Louis.
Brian was honored along with of Patrick Mullins of Maryland, who was the men's recipient of the award. The winners were decided by a vote of NCAA Division I soccer coaches whose programs are current members of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA), along with a fan vote that cumulatively counted as the equivalent of one coach's vote. Crystal Dunn of North Carolina was the runner-up for the women's award and Abby Dahlkamper of UCLA was third in the voting.
"Winning this award means a lot to me," said Brian. "As they said during the presentation, this is the most prestigious award in college soccer. To end such an unbelievable season for our team with this honor is humbling. When you see all the jerseys at the club of the past winners, players like Mia Hamm and Kristine Lilly, it is exciting to join this group."
Brian, who also earned Soccer America and TopDrawerSoccer.com Player of the Year honors this season, is the first national player of the year in program history. She tied for the ACC scoring lead this season with 46 points on 16 goals and a league-high 14 assists. A first-team NSCAA All-American, she tied the Virginia single-season assist record. Brian scored in all four of the Cavaliers' NCAA Tournament victories as she led the team to its first College Cup appearance in 22 years. Brian was a first-team All-ACC selection for the third consecutive season, in addition to being named to the ACC All-Tournament Team and the All-NCAA Tournament Team. She also made three appearances for the United States Women's National Team in 2013, scoring her first international goal against Mexico on Sept. 3.
"This is an incredible honor for Morgan, especially when you consider the quality of the finalists, Abby and Crystal, and the seasons they have had," said Virginia head coach Steve Swanson. "In fact, I think what makes this so special for Morgan is knowing that there were so many quality players who had outstanding years for their teams throughout the country and were nominated for this prestigious award. Everyone associated with the University of Virginia and Virginia Athletics, especially her teammates and coaches who interact with her almost daily, is extremely proud of Morgan Brian. Given her year and the qualities she possesses as a person, player, leader and teammate, we could not think of a more fitting way to honor her contributions to our team this season than being presented with the Missouri Athletic Club's Hermann Trophy."
Brian is the fifth Virginia player to receive the crystal ball as the nation's top player, joining the four Cavalier men to be named Hermann Trophy winners: Tony Meola (1989), Claudio Reyna (1993), Mike Fisher (1995 and 1996) and Alecko Eskandarian (2002). Virginia becomes just the third school to produce both a men's and women's Hermann Trophy winner, joining Notre Dame and Penn State.

The BossLowest Recommended Age: Mature High Schooler MPAA Rating: Rated R for sexual content, language and brief drug use Release Date: April 8, 2016
As I describe in an exclusive story today's Chicago Sun-Times, The Motion Picture Association of America's Ratings Board made an unannounced change in April of this year that eliminated almost all restrictions on the content of movie trailers, the brief previews of upcoming films that appear before the feature in theaters and in promotional websites. This was done so quietly that my article is the first public notice of the change.
Whether a film is rated G (general audiences), PG (parental guidance suggested), PG-13 (parents strongly cautioned), and R (restricted to ages 17 and up), the "green screen" trailers shown in theaters and online were always preceded by a notice on a green background noting that "the following preview has been approved for all audiences." A movie could have violence, strong language, nudity, drug use, or other mature content was included in the movie, but the trailer would at most imply it.
That is, until April, when the green screen trailer language quietly switched from "approved for all audiences" to "approved for appropriate audiences."
"Appropriate?" Even with context, that word has almost no content. Without any context, it is positively Orwellian.
This comes as the MPAA has included increasingly more specific descriptors since 1990 to explain the basis for its movie ratings, after pressure from the Federal Trade Commission, public interest groups, and even the movie-makers like the Directors Guild.
The MPAA does not reveal much about its ratings board, even the names of its members. And its processes and the ratings themselves are still often confusing and inconsistent as demonstrated in the documentary "This Film is Not Yet Rated." Material that would get an R in a drama gets a PG-13 in a comedy. The F-word can be used twice in a PG-13 as long as it does not refer to sex. The MPAA has improved its descriptors, especially for tobacco and substance abuse. The raunchy comedy "Land of the Lost" was based on a family-friendly 1970's television show but it was rated "PG-13 for crude and sexual content, and for language including a drug reference." "Shorts," a family film about a wishing stone from Robert Rodriguez is "Rated PG for mild action and some rude humor."
But those descriptors can often be Delphic. You would need a PhD in semiotics to figure out what the often-used "mild thematic elements" is supposed to mean. Last year's PG-rated "Marley & Me" was marketed to kids as a cute puppy movie, but its "thematic material" included postpartum depression and the very sad death of the dog in the title. A much more kid-friendly pooch movie, "Hotel for Dogs," is also rated PG for "brief mild thematic elements, language and some crude humor." "Brief mild thematic elements" in that film presumably refers to the mean foster parents of the orphan characters and some law-breaking by the children.
It used to be that trailers were all essentially rated G. Until this year, there have been basically two categories of MPAA-approved trailers. The "green band" trailers, with the MPAA's approval on a green background, were approved for audiences of all ages. "Red band" trailers, to be shown in theaters only before R-rated movies, included R-rated material, thus ensuring, the theory went, that they would be seen only by adults who were by definition interested in movies with mature content.
Since the internet has become a key element of movie marketing, however, it has been impossible to limit red band trailers to adult audiences. On the contrary — teenagers are naturally very interested in seeing red band trailers and very good at using the internet to find them. They are also very good at getting around the wispy "restrictions" that at most ask for a name and birth date in order to be able to access the mature material.
"Green band" trailers disclose what the movie's rating was, but before April of this year, the clips from the movie in the trailer itself would in theory not include anything inappropriate for general audiences. This has had some absurd, even misleading results. The trailer for the raunchy 2001 comedy "Saving Silverman" ("Rated R for sexual content and language") put CGI underpants on actor Steve Zahn; in the movie itself, he was nude. Despite the "green band" assurance, the trailers often include material that is hardly G-rated. The trailer for the upcoming comedy "Extract" ("Rated R for language, sexual references and some drug use"), which for some inexplicable and inexcusable reason still carries the original green band "approved for all audiences" language, includes references to a part of the male anatomy and marital sexual frustration, and it depicts the main character smoking marijuana.
Now MPAA will make some effort to ensure "appropriate" audiences by matching the content of the trailer to the film it precedes in the theater. However, a trailer for a film rated PG-13 for violence may appear before a movie rated PG-13 for language, so that might not be an "appropriate" audience. And since most young people watch trailers online, there will be no controls whatsoever.
I asked the MPAA about this change. Elizabeth Kaltman, Vice President for
Corporate Communications, acknowledged in an email that they had not made any public announcement of the change, which was "intended to allow motion picture distributors and exhibitors greater freedom to accurately promote motion pictures to appropriate audiences while honoring our pledge to American parents that stronger advertising material will not reach inappropriate younger audiences. Whether a movie is rated G or PG, the appropriate audience tag still maintains that the trailer is appropriate for the viewing audience."
There are still some glitches in the system. In addition to the PG-13 "Extract," the trailer for the R-rated horror film "Sorority Girls" mistakenly has the "all audiences" green band but includes some material that is highly inappropriate for children. And it is available to anyone online.
I understand the frustration of the movie studios in trying to convey an accurate and appealing sense of a PG-13 or R-rated movie within the confines of an essentially G-rated trailer. And I recognize the way that the prevalence of almost-universally available red band trailers online has opened the door for previews that provide a more accurate sense of what is in the film. But it is absurd for the MPAA Ratings Board advertising rules to be so obfuscatory and coy with the "appropriate audiences" language. If the material in the trailer is judged to be at the same level of the feature it precedes, there is no reason not to assign a rating and descriptors to the trailer. The "Extract" trailer should begin with a caution that it is rated PG-13 for crude humor, sexual references, and drug use. That is my definition of appropriate.

The fans who have been waiting for a new workplace comedy as wickedly on target as Mike Judge's cult classic "Office Space" will have to keep waiting. Judge's new film has no red stapler, no TPS reports coversheet problems, and most of all, it has no flair.
This time, Judge has us on the side of the boss. He is Joel (Jason Bateman), who owns a small manufacturing company that makes flavor extracts. His life is flavorless, get it?
Joel has an office with a window that looks down on the assembly line that conveys the little bottles to the boxes and the forklift. And he has to deal with petty and incompetent employees. But no matter where we are on our own corporate totem poles, it is always going to be more difficult for the audience to identify with the guy who gets to tell everyone what to do before he goes home to his big house and his big bank account.
And it turns out that this movie is less about the workplace than it is another weak frustrated married life comedy. On one hand, this is a good thing because the workplace plot line, involving an industrial accident than unmans one of the workers (Clifton Collins, Jr., you can do better than this) and a scheming temp (ditto Mila Kunis) is neither interesting nor original. On the other hand, it is not a good thing because neither is the marital plot line. Joel is frustrated. His friend (Ben Affleck, bearded) advises Joel to entrap his wife into an affair, thus giving himself carte blanche to do the same. This was briefly popular back the days of, what was that again, oh yes, "Love, American Style." There is a reason that show is no longer on the air. And it's the same reason this movie should immediately move to the 99 cent bin and stay there.
Somewhere deep inside this movie, like the little tiny pea in the bed of the princess, is an idea that could have been an interesting movie. Unfortunately, as with that bed of the princess, it is smothered in 20 mattresses of awful and 20 more mattresses of just plain dumb. Warning: the screenplay is by Kim Barker, who was also responsible for the execrable "License to Wed." Two strikes and Barker should be out for good.
Sandra Bullock produced, so she is responsible for both Barker and casting herself in the lead role, plays Mary Magdalene Horowitz, a cruciverbalist (constructor of crossword puzzles) who has gone way past endearingly quirky and well into the land of the annoying oddball. It could be kind of goofily charming that she wears the same red boots all the time. It could be sort of intriguing that she has some of that Adam-style social dyslexia. But instead she is the kind of person who recites endless random arcana and then, when told to be quiet, lists several entirely audible synonyms for silence. As happens so often in this movie, she gets the letter but not the spirit of what people are saying to her.
So, when she sees Bradley Cooper (the title Steve), a news station cameraman, she immediately jumps on him, which he quickly realizes is too good to be true. He scrapes her off like gum off the bottom of his shoe, and she then commits career suicide and follows him to a series of increasingly un-funny news stories he is covering. Even the always-welcome appearances of top character actors like Beth Grant (glammed up for once), Thomas Haden Church (as a cliched self-centered television correspondent), Ken Jeong (relatively calm for once), D.J. Qualls (bringing class to a barely-written role), and the delightful Katy Mixon (doing more than I would have thought humanly possible as a cliched hick) cannot breathe any life into this soggy story. The best that can be said about Cooper is that he escapes unscathed, a tribute to his true talent and star power.
Bullock is producer, too, and once again she seems to gravitate toward roles that run contrary to conventions of romantic comedy, and I respect that. She likes to play characters who are socially clumsy ("Miss Congeniality") or incapable in relationships ("Forces of Nature") and she does not always go for the happily ever after pairing off at the end of the movie. But here the story spirals past edgy into disturbing, with comic references to an infant's deformity (and the idiocy of the public response) and an accident involving deaf children. While the film is making fun of the media circus about the rescue, it commits the same crime it is satirizing in its treatment of one of the children. The problem with this movie is not the cluelessness of Bullock's character; it is the cluelessness of the script.
It goes to 11.
Davis Guggenheim ("An Inconvenient Truth") has made a documentary featuring three generations of guitar gods: Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), The Edge (U2), and Jack White (The White Stripes). But it is not about the musicians. It is about guitars, and passion, and hearing, and sticking it to the man, and art, and music, and the sublime that brings all of those things together. It is a joyous yowl from the depths of existence that soars to the ears of the celestial choirs, where it makes them pause and smile and, if such a thing is possible for angels, envy the humans who get to make such sounds and even those of us who get to listen to them.
We spend time with each of these musicians. The archival clips are surprising and delightful and it is pure pleasure to see these men return to places and instruments that are especially meaningful to them and to listen in as they talk to each other and demonstrate their comments with riffs and techniques. They say that successful musical performers fall into three categories: rock star, performance artist, and musician. These three men are above all musicians. At times they seem to embody music itself, with aural imperatives mortals can only gasp at. Their utter commitment is moving and inspiring. Rock on.

Through an accident of fate (and plot holes), could Batman have just been made a member of the tribe?
Comic books are complicated in terms of internal continuity. In the hands of new writers, facts about beloved characters can easily change. So two different facts have worked together to make the Caped Crusader halachically, matrilineally Jewish.
First, Batwoman, Kate Kane, is an officially Jewish character, even celebrating Chanukah with sometime girlfriend Renee Montoya (who has also been vigilante the Question, but let's not delve too deeply into comic book lore here).
Still following? The final piece in this puzzle is "Batwoman" #25, written by Marc Andreyko and released a few months ago. In it, Kane talks to Bruce Wayne, and mentions that they're first cousins. That would make his mother her paternal aunt, so if Kane's father is Jewish, so was Martha. And if Martha is Jewish, that makes Batman Jewish by strict halachic standards.
Last week, comics journalist Alex Jaffe noticed this concurrence, and outlined it on his Tumblr, but it hasn't picked up much traction. It's likely because the odds that the folks at DC realized what they were doing was very, very small.
As Tumblr user Arielle posted on her blog (sic), "i dont want to have to dig through implications implied by other implications and layers of reading comprehension for a mere shred of maybe representation and give dc a pat on the back for it. if he's jewish they better say he's jewish outright im not here to grasp at straws im a jew who wants explicit representation."
Excellent point, Arielle. And there's also the unavoidable fact that the grave Kate Kane overlooks in the comic in question is unmistakably cross-shaped. "Batwoman" is a series in DC Comics' total overhaul of its publications known as the "New 52," and perhaps even Batwoman's Jewishness has fallen by the wayside.
But even if we can't give Bruce Wayne a "drive-by bar Mitzvah," it's still an active time for Jewish comic book characters.
Only one short month ago, Spider-Man actor (and candidate for bedroom posters everywhere) Andrew Garfield said that he saw the famed webslinger as Jewish. The latest X-Men movie, "Days of Future Past," features comics' most famous Holocaust survivor, Magneto. And the new "Fantastic Four" movie has begun filming, though it's unlikely to mention that one-quarter of the team, the Thing, is also Jewish.
So, yes, looking for visible Jewish characters is sometimes grasping at straws. But hey, at least we have lots of straws to grasp.
*But if you insist on getting really nerdy, Martha Wayne, who died tragically in the mugging that led her son Bruce to become the masked vigilante we all know and love, had the maiden name Kane. This coincidence of names was not examined too closely, as these characters were named for Batman co-creator (and Jewish American) Bob Kane (who was born Kahn, but what can you do?).

The Jewish Week feels comments create a valuable conversation and wants to feature your thoughts on our website. To make everyone feel welcome, we won't publish comments that are profane, irrelevant, promotional or make personal attacks.
Marc Andreyko has worked over the years very closely with Michael Bendis who is Jewish and is very active in the community.
The assumption that the writer would NOT know is probably the wrong assumption.
Rather than an accident, it was probably an effort to test the waters.
Magneto is Jewish.
The Thing is Jewish.
On a related topic, surely it hasn't been forgotten that the history of comic books is the history of Jewish writers and artists banding together to create a new type of entertainment starting in the 30s and culminating with the Lee(Lieberman)/Kirby years of Marvel.
It may be hard to track down the quote, but Stan Lee himself said all the heroes he and Kirby created drew upon the struggle of Jewish people as they were growing up.
He said that the Jewish struggle was the unstated theme behind all their heroes.
That includes teams like the X-men though for the movie it was decided to make them a parallel to the gay rights struggle. Really though beyond being different that makes no sense.
Finally the creator of Superman said he was originally Jewish.
He was written fighting Nazis to inspire Jews during the years prior to WWII.
When it became a huge hit, he was faced with a choice I think given to him by his publishers who felt a Superman with no religious association was the only way they could make money long term.
For him the choice was get published or not get published, and so the Jewish elements of Superman were dropped.
So the fact that the creator of Batman was Jewish is probably a good indicator that the current writer rather than making a mistake is more likely testing the waters to see if he can rectify a similar compromise made about Batman back then.
I mean really how many incidental coincidences do you need.

I wanted to ask whether it is possible to compare the complete database structure of two huge databases. We have two databases, the one is a development database, the other a production database. I've sometimes forgotten to make changes in to the production database, before we released some parts of our code, which results that the production database doesn't have the same structure, so if we release something we got some errors. Is there a way to compare the two, or synchronize?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
What about http://www.mysqldiff.org/ which is freeware?
You can just dump them with --no-data and compare the files.
Remember to use the --lock-tables=0 option on your production database to avoid the big nasty global lock.
If you use the same mysqldump version (your dev and production systems should have the same software, right?) then you'll expect to get more-or-less identical files out. The tables will be in alpha order so a simple diff will show discrepancies up easily.
Red-Gate SQL Compare is a great tool that will do this for you. I have used this for years with great success. It has saved me thousands of hours of work.
They also have a tool that will compare data as well. The product I mentioned above compares schema.
You can use the command line:
You'll need a tool, probably, like Database comparer.
Depending on your database, the tools available vary.
I use Embarcadero's ER/Studio for this. It has a Compare and Merge feature.
There are plenty others, such as Toad for MySQL, that also have compare. Also agree on the Red-Gate suggestion, but never used it for MySQL.
Check out Gemini Delta - SQL Difference Manager for .NET. A free beta version is available for download, but the full version is only a few days away from public release.
It doesn't compare row-level data differences, but it compares tables, functions, sprocs, etc... and it is lightning fast. (The new version, 1.4, loads and compares 1k Sprocs in under 4 seconds, compared with other tools I've tested which took over 10 seconds.)
Everyone is right though, RedGate does make great tools.
I tried mysqldiff without success, so I would like to enrich the future readers by drawing attention to mysqlworkbench's compare function. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/workbench/en/wb-database-diff-report.html#c13030
if you open a model tab, and select the databases menu, you get a compare schemas option, which you can use to compare two different schemas on two different servers, or two schemas on the same server, or a schema and a model, or a lot of other options i haven't tried yet.
SchemaCrawler is a free, platform-independent tool that allows you to compare database structures. The two databases do not need to be online at the same time - you can save your database structure into a human-readable text file. Comaprisons are done using standard diff tools.
I would recommend automating the comparison as a part of build and deploy process, to ensure that your production systems are never out of date.
I would definitely go with AdeptSQL if you're using MSSQL. It's the least good looking but the most talented db compare tool amongst the ones I've tried. It can compare both the structure and the data. It tells you which tables exist on one db but does not exist on the other, compares the structure and data of the common ones and it can produce the script to synchronize the two. It's not free but has a 30 day trial (as far as I can remember)
Try dbForge Scheme Compare for SQL server. It can compare and synchronize any database scheme. Quick, easy, always delivering a correct result. See how it flies on your database!
SQL Examiner Suite 2010 compares MySQL databases (both schema and data)
I finally used a simple tool called "mysql structure compare" to solve this. It's for windows only, but it's free and it works..
For MySQL database you can compare view and tables (column name and column type) using this query:
If you prefer using tool with UI you can also use this script https://github.com/dlevsha/compalex which can compare tables, views, keys etc.

Montreal Underground Origins
Montreal Underground Origins shines a light for current and future generations on the early days of what is now considered a thriving city of the arts. It was conceived and produced by the non-profit arts promotion and preservation organization, Archive Montreal (ARCMTL) in 2014.
Check out our image blog to peruse excerpts and full scans of vintage photos, magazines and varied publications from the era. Our blog features a growing number of articles, interviews and discussion transcripts exploring various aspects of the 1960s – 1970s Montreal underground arts and activist scene. Links to other websites, organizations or online resources to discover more about this era appear as a sidebar to the right of all posts on our blog.
Comments and discussion from the public are welcome! Anyone can post comments under each blog post on the site.

We don't travel with a dog (our cats prefer to stay at home) but were surprised at how many guests at the Monaco in Alexandra, VA had dogs, well - behaved dogs at that. I've since read that Alexandria is a very dog-friendly town and that many lodging places accept them.
I liked sitting in the comfortable lobby here watching the canines. When I say the lobby is comfortable, I mean it has couches that you literally sink into, wonderful side chairs, ottomans, and a cozy fireplace. There are toys for the kids in the lobby too. And did I mention there's wine at 5 p.m.? Very nice.
The only thing we were uncomfortable with was the size of the room. My husband and I are not little people. By the time we got our four bags and ourselves into the room it was snug. I like having a nice arm chair in the room. Not here. The furnishings and decor are avant European -- a large foot stool is the closest we got to a sitting chair. We thought we asked for a king-size bed, but got a queen. We let that go because it may have been our mistake.
There's no coffee pot in the room (European style, I guess) but there is coffee in the lobby. Don't look for any packaged sweet rolls for breakfast here, because there's no breakfast. I liked that because I don't find the "free breakfast" at most hotels all the good. Next to the Monaco there is a nice La Madeleine. And there's a pharmacy across the street.
The room and bathroom were very clean. We didn't get housekeeping every day because we left early each morning and returned around 4 p.m., just about the time housekeeping was getting around to us. That was not a big issue to me. I just mention it in case it is to others.
The desk was helpful and friendly, as were the doorman and staff. The first night the AC went on instead of the heater (it was cold). Maintenance was at our door within 2 minutes after we called and replaced the batteries in the thermostat. No problems with AC or heat after that. There is a free shuttle to and from Reagan National airport. When we arrived the shuttle was in the shop but the hotel paid for our cab ride.
The Monaco is in Old Town and is within walking distance to the related historic attractions and the Torpedo Factory. The station for the Metro into D.C. is about a mile away. The Old Town trolleys go to the Metro station but they don't start until 10 a.m. If you want to go into D.C. earlier than that, you either need to be prepared to walk a mile to the station or take a cab.
Next time we go to D.C. we will probably stay closer to the Metro station, not because we didn't like the Monaco but because we are morning people and like to go into the city early. Also, there's a great Whole Foods near the Metro station. We would have eaten every meal there if we'd found it sooner. The restaurants in Old Town are ok, but not as good as Whole Foods in my opinion.

I'm trying to install wordpress on my PC so I can edit and test the site offline, and I downloaded xampp and did everything to get a local server environment setup, which seems to have worked somewhat -- when I go to http://127.0.0.1/mylocaldirectory my homepage comes up and I can log in to my wordpress dashboard. But, except for the content on my front page, none of the other page content shows up.
The links to my other pages are on my front page, and their content shows up in my dashboard when I go to look at the pages from that view (so the content is in the local database i created and the wordpress dashboard, at least, knows it), but when I click "view page" or try to navigate there from the front page, a "Welcome to XAMPP for Windows!" message pops up.
I can't seem to figure out why I can't view these pages in my browser, even though they are on my local server, I can see my home page just fine, and I can even see and edit the content for the other pages in the visual editor in my dashboard?
I'm trying to be patient about figuring it out, but I really am running out of ideas of things to check lol.

As I reach out to the stars I took a picture.
Mar 5, 2013
I've been working some more on Astrophotography and I think I'm getting a little better. A lot of time goes into taking just one of these pictures. I mount the camera onto my telescope like this:
Then I set up on a clear night and take multiple shots and stack the photo's together to get every bit of info that I can out of them.
Here's a few that I've been working on:

Units: cool modules for HOT languages
Modular programming
Modular programming (also known as top down design and stepwise refinement) is a software design technique that increases the extent to which software is composed of separate, interchangeable components called modules by breaking down program functions into modules, each of which accomplishes one function and contains everything necessary to accomplish this.
more from Wikipedia
ML (programming language)
ML is a general-purpose functional programming language developed by Robin Milner and others in the early 1970s at the University of Edinburgh, whose syntax is inspired by ISWIM. Historically, ML stands for metalanguage: it was conceived to develop proof tactics in the LCF theorem prover (whose language, pplambda, a combination of the first-order predicate calculus and the simply typed polymorphic lambda calculus, had ML as its metalanguage).
more from Wikipedia
Scheme (programming language)
Scheme is a functional programming language and one of the two main dialects of the programming language Lisp. Unlike Common Lisp, the other main dialect, Scheme follows a minimalist design philosophy specifying a small standard core with powerful tools for language extension. Its compactness and elegance have made it popular with educators, language designers, programmers, implementors, and hobbyists.
more from Wikipedia
Type system
A type system associates a type with each computed value. By examining the flow of these values, a type system attempts to ensure or prove that no type errors can occur. The particular type system in question determines exactly what constitutes a type error, but in general the aim is to prevent operations expecting a certain kind of value being used with values for which that operation does not make sense; memory errors will also be prevented.
more from Wikipedia
Library (computing)
In computer science, a library is a collection of resources used to develop software. These may include pre-written code and subroutines, classes, values or type specifications. Libraries contain code and data that provide services to independent programs. This encourages the sharing and changing of code and data in a modular fashion, and eases the distribution of the code and data. Some executables are both standalone programs and libraries, but most libraries are not executable.
more from Wikipedia
Assembly language
See the terminology section below for information regarding inconsistent use of the terms assembly and assembler. An assembly language is a low-level programming language for computers, microprocessors, microcontrollers, and other programmable devices in which each statement corresponds to a single machine language instruction. An assembly language is specific to a certain computer architecture, in contrast to most high-level programming languages, which may be more portable.
more from Wikipedia
A compiler is a computer program (or set of programs) that transforms source code written in a programming language (the source language) into another computer language (the target language, often having a binary form known as object code). The most common reason for wanting to transform source code is to create an executable program. The name "compiler" is primarily used for programs that translate source code from a high-level programming language to a lower level language.
more from Wikipedia
Programming language
A programming language is an artificial language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages can be used to create programs that control the behavior of a machine and/or to express algorithms precisely. The earliest programming languages predate the invention of the computer, and were used to direct the behavior of machines such as Jacquard looms and player pianos.

Asteroseismology shakes up theory of stellar evolution
What is the lifespan of a sun-like star? Well, it may not be quite what we thought. The outcomes of EU-funded asteroseismology research conducted by Professor Conny Aerts and her team show that the cores of red giants don't spin nearly as fast as expected - and this, in turn, means that our understanding of the future of our sun was flawed.

A smoother road for tyre development
A more advanced computer model and measurement approach enable manufacturers to more accurately predict tyre performance on the road. Developed by an EU-funded project, the model and approach could aid in the design of higher-performing, safer and quieter tyres and boost the industry's competitiveness.
Published: 20 June 2016
Many industries - and each of our cells - depend on emulsions. An EU-funded researcher has developed a method for studying molecules at the interface between oil nanodroplets and the water-based liquid contained in these substances. Her work advances understanding of liquid interfaces and emulsion stability, and is of great interest to industry.

Getting to the bottom of the Sun's plasma eruptions
When the Sun sends a great mass of solar material hurtling through space, the repercussions can be felt here on Earth in the form of a geomagnetic storm. One EU-funded scientist set out to understand why these eruptions happen, and to create a methodology for predicting the timeframe between the explosion and its impacts 150 million kilometres away on our planet.
Published: 2 March 2016
A giant leap for gamma ray astronomy
The ability to observe very high energy gamma radiation has opened a new window on the universe, and researchers around the world are keen to seize the new opportunities it offers. As part of an EU-funded project, they have created an international alliance to move beyond current experimental instruments towards a major telescope array for this new type of observation.

Shields up for manned space exploration
Thriving settlements on Mars, mining operations on the moon, exploration teams heading out into the universe - humankind may one day be able to establish a presence far beyond its home planet. The EU-funded SR2S project strives to remove one of the main obstacles by developing a magnetic shield to protect astronauts from radiation in deep space.
Published: 18 May 2015
Solar eruptions release huge amounts of energetic particle radiation. While most of these events will only affect satellites and other spacecraft, particularly large eruptions will also make themselves felt on Earth-in aviation and radio communication, for example. The EU-funded SEPServer project has developed a web-based tool to help scientists investigate solar energetic particles (SEP) and their origin.

Understanding the Earth's magnetic field for precision weather forecasting
For years, the European Space Agency (ESA) has been studying the Earth's magnetosphere - a 'bubble' in which the Earth's magnetic field is present. Huge amounts of supporting data have been gathered. EU-funded researchers have made this data available in an easy-to-use, open-access format, giving scientists the information they need to improve space weather forecasting - important for protecting European satellite and ground-based infrastructure.

New antibiotic starts the long journey to market
A completely new antibiotic to help combat drug resistance has been discovered by EU-funded researchers. It is now in clinical trials in collaboration with a world-leading pharmaceutical company.

Finding out how solar flares affect life on Earth
Solar flares can strongly influence life on Earth-causing power outages, disrupting radio communication and airplane navigation, and posing potential threats to astronauts and spacecraft. The European Union (EU)-funded project HESPE has developed advanced techniques to better understand these cosmic events in order to anticipate their effects.

Extension Watch: Tag Toolbar for Thunderbird
Productivity Sauce
As the name suggests, the Tag Toolbar extension adds a dedicated toolbar to the Mozilla Thunderbird email client which you can use to easily tag email messages. While this is not exactly a mind-blowing functionality, Tag Toolbar offers a few other nifty features that improve on the default Tags feature. For starters, you can group all your tags into categories using tag folders. For example, you can create a tag folder called "Web" and put all Web-related tags (i.e., "ReadLater", "HowTo", "UsefulLink", etc.) in it.
The toolbar itself can be set to show tags as text labels or as color markers. Instead of tags, you can also set the toolbar to display tag folders. Using the Search Tags feature, you can quickly find the tag you want either by its name or by its color. This can come in handy if you have dozens or even hundreds of tags. All in all, if you are using tags to keep tabs on your email messages, the Tag Toolbar can help you to make the most of this feature.comments powered by Disqus

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

|Statistics (2012)
Almaty International Airport (Kazakh: Халықаралық Алматы Әуежайы, Xalıqaralıq Almatı Äwejayı, حالىقارالىق الماتى أۋەجايى, Russian: Международный Аэропорт Алматы, Mezhdunarodnyy Aeroport Almaty) (IATA: ALA, ICAO: UAAA) is the largest international airport in Kazakhstan. It is located about 15 km (9.3 mi) northeast of Almaty,[2] the country's largest city and commercial capital. Almaty airport accounts for half of passenger traffic and 68% of cargo traffic to Kazakhstan.[3] In 2012, the airport handled 4,003,004 passengers, including 1,997,570 arriving passengers, and 2,005,434 departing passengers.
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (September 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The airport was built in 1935, for all small civil/military flying ships. Up to 1990 it was the part of Kazakh Department of Civil Aviation, and then reorganized into "Alma-Ata Airport" in 1991. Since 1993 it has run as an independent business unit. In 1994 it was reorganized into OJSC "Almaty Airport" and later renamed to JSC Almaty International Airport.
The supersonic transport (SST) Tupolev Tu-144 went into service on 26 December 1975, flying mail and freight between Moscow and Alma-Ata in preparation for passenger services, which commenced in November 1977. The Aeroflot flight on 1 June 1978 was the Tu-144's 55th and last scheduled passenger service.
Following a runway reconstruction in 1998, Almaty airport was awarded II category and status of an International Airport.
On 9 July 1999 a fire started in the shashlik kitchen of the airport restaurant. The whole terminal building burned down in just a few hours, fortunately without major injuries. Construction of a new terminal was completed in 2004.
On 30 September 2008 a second runway was opened with a first departure of a BMI flight bound for London Heathrow. The new runway has also been given an ICAO certificate for CAT III landings which will significantly reduce the number of planes diverting to nearby airfields due to low visibility, especially during the winter months. This runway is the longest in central Asia. The new runway can accept all types of aircraft without limitation of take-off weight and operations frequency.
Growth in connectivity is in danger of being compromised by airport infrastructure that is comparatively expensive and not keeping pace with demand growth. IATA is urging the Kazakhstan government to follow ICAO principles and eliminate differential ANSP charges between domestic and international carriers. Currently (2012), it is 18% more expensive to turn around an Airbus A320 in Almaty than at similarly-sized airports in Europe. The differential rises to 43% for a Boeing 767.[4]
There are plans to build a new passenger terminal for international flights with six loading bridges and capacity up to 2,500 passengers per hour in the near future. A developed infrastructure complex consisting of a Marriott Hotel, conference halls, business center, shopping center and cinemas will be located within the territory of this terminal. The new terminal was to be located along Kuldja Road in order to help reduce traffic on the way to the airport. However the construction of the new terminal was delayed due to lack of managers handling the construction of project. The airport is still currently looking for a new manager to handle the construction that's currently unfinished. There has also been proposal to build the entire new Almaty airport 48 km to the North-East of Almaty or still focus on expanding new terminal.
Airlines and destinations[edit]
Accidents and incidents[edit]
- 7 July 1980, Aeroflot flight 4227: All 163 occupants of a Tupolev Tu-154B-2, tail number CCCP-85355, lost their lives when the aircraft crashed shortly after take-off from Alma-Ata Airport. The airplane was due to operate a domestic scheduled Alma-Ata–Simferopol passenger service under the Kazakh division as Flight 4227; the airspeed suddenly dropped because of thermal currents it encountered during climb out, causing the airplane to stall about 5 km (3.1 mi) away, crashing and catching fire.
- 30 August 1980, Aeroflot Flight CCCP-65129, Tupolev Tu-134 crashed on approach to Almaty after a flight from Chelyabinsk where all 90 passengers and crew died.[16]
- 29 January 2013, SCAT Airlines flight 760, a Bombardier CRJ-200ER, registration UR-CJ006, crashed during a low-visibility approach into Almaty International Airport that originated from Kokshetau. All 21 occupants died. The deputy mayor of Almaty, Maulen Mukashev, visited the crash site and told reporters that the preliminary cause of the crash is bad weather. The accident is currently under investigation.

On a fall evening two years ago, Matthew Flaschen donned a headlamp, slipped on a backpack and, along with about 20 other similarly dressed men and women, went spelunking in downtown Atlanta.
Each member taking hold of a long rope, in slow, painstaking fashion, the expedition descended a staircase in the shadow of a dull, lifeless parking deck. Entering a cavernous space, the group continued slowly on its subterranean quest, using flashlights to illuminate various chambers that opened up along the wide passage and studying the various strange formations that descended from the high ceiling and walls around them.
But Flaschen and his fellow spelunkers soon encountered an obstacle: a uniformed security guard who, much like everyone else that evening in Underground Atlanta, wondered what the hell was going on. Still holding the rope uniting them, the 22-year-old Georgia Tech student and his crew were ushered to the door. They climbed past Underground's outdoor fountain, crossed Peachtree Street and entered the MARTA station, where they continued to confuse onlookers.
The event — or "mission," as masters of the craft prefer to call it — was just one of nearly a dozen preplanned pranks carried out by the Gobi Lumberjacks, a ragtag group of urban jesters who've helped organize such anarchic displays of surrealism in Atlanta since early 2008.
One of hundreds of such groups across the country, the Lumberjacks have frozen in midstep at Atlantic Station; launched into spontaneous, musicless dancing at Lenox Square mall; and pretended that bananas were cell phones at Perimeter Mall. Those missions were in addition to organizing the local No Pants MARTA ride, the worldwide annual event in which straphangers ride the rails sans trou.
The Lumberjacks don't get paid, they're not seeking fame and they haven't misplaced their medication.
"Our motto is 'amuse and bewilder,'" says Jame Riley, an Atlanta graphic designer and one of the group's founding members.
"Say you're in your normal day-to-day routine," he says, excitedly. "You're in a train and gotta get to work. The same old place, same old crowd, same old people you never talk to. And, all of a sudden, people start taking their pants off and riding the train. And then, at the next stop, people are getting on with their pants off. It's benign, it's funny, and it's something to break up the monotony in people's lives. And it gives people something to talk about the rest of the day or week."
Adds Flaschen: "Anyone can go to a play or musical. But it's not every day you're going about your daily life and something strange starts happening."
Much like street artists use the urban environment to offer a different perspective or simply shake people out of their routines, the Lumberjacks' missions and such acts of silliness as the Freedom Park pillow fight (see sidebar) take the everyday and insert the unexpected. So far, Atlanta seems to have embraced the nonsense.
But the Lumberjacks, which has no organized leadership structure, also faces challenges that are unique to Atlanta. Thanks to its decentralized layout, the city can be a hard place to pull off a prank.
But obstacles can be overcome and plans are under way for another event near the end of September. The pranksters are tight-lipped about their upcoming mission, but it will likely involve song and dance and commuting.
Unlike flash mobs, the now-ubiquitous social phenomenon that's unfortunately been co-opted by commercial interests as another guerilla marketing tool, urban pranks are quick doses of choreographed silliness aimed at simply entertaining.
"We like to turn dull moments of life into something fantastic," says Jenny Fox Shain, a new member who's helping organize the next prank. "I think our brains are conditioned to think entertainment is only contained in certain boundaries or places. It's creating something fun in uncreative environments where people aren't expecting to see something that brings joy to them."
How the movement — and the Gobi Lumberjacks — came to be can be traced to New York City. And oddly enough, to low-fi alterna-popster Ben Folds.
In August of 2001, the Brooklyn comedian Charlie Todd and two friends convinced a bar filled with strangers that they were the Ben Folds Five. Free drinks and autograph requests followed. The prank convinced Todd, who teaches and performs with at the Upright Citizens Brigade comedy troupe, to form Improv Everywhere, a pranks collective open to anyone who has the time and audacity to participate in elaborate public scenes.
(In hindsight, Todd says he wishes he'd chosen a different moniker, as orchestrated and complex events fall outside the traditional definition of improv, which is a give-and-take, spontaneous dramatic or comedic display.)
Todd and friends would brainstorm ideas or accept suggestions from the many fans IE gained over the years thanks to savvy videos of imaginative pranks. Among them: hoodwinking passersby into thinking they were watching U2 perform on a rooftop outside of an actual U2 concert; having more than 100 guys shopping bare-chested through Abercrombie & Fitch; and performing a lavish food-court musical.

Many are saying that Obama's message has not been properly communicated to the American people.Obama's message is not being sold correctly through it's news outlets. CNN & NYT are Obama's top two news outlets.
Obama is a great speaker with over 400 speeches. The only problem is - he can't convince anyone to do anything! CNN & NYT is weak. As a result both will suffer for not helping Obama communicate to America properly.CNN & NYT will be under great pressure come August & September. I wonder if NYT political writers will go on vacation like The Boston Globe political writers did during the Martha Coakley race?
they think they are so much smarter tand the rest of us all all just IDIOTS!they don't see m to understand that we DO understand and that we R-E-J-E-C-T their ideologyThe Progressives believe we will all just love life in Amerika if we play their game and follow their lead!! LOL LOLWho said Obama was intelligent? He faisl to udnerstand a key thing: THE AMERICAN PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!
Well you know a shark smells blood so Capitalism is decaying, Capitalism based on machines,factories,land and financial institutions must be done away with by expropriation.To expropriate the capitalists the people need to discard the wxisting government machinery and institute a working class govt based on minorities and middle class.Socialism begins under this "new workers government" You guys shouldnt get to warm and fuzzy over a Brown win as the battle has begun along time ago and could be won by the enemy without firing a shot by incrementalism.
LEE, MNI are four baggers THIS year.NYT, GCI are doubles
The NYT and CNN only regurgitate the same garbage Obama has been talking about endlessly. He has been on TV over 400 times the first year, it's not that he isn't getting his message across it's just that the American people are waking up to the fact that he is a snake oil salesman and are rejecting his policies.
